RecluseRamble ,

Are you German? That's standard German rethoric and the reason, they shut off their reactors prematurely. It's not how the world sees it though.

RecluseRamble ,

He said X, not Wayland.

RecluseRamble ,

It does but there are many farmers to cut and only the last one will stay in cosmic clipboard.

RecluseRamble ,

Oh, it definitely helps creating a good profile of you.

RecluseRamble ,

The "party" is their 1% permanent ruling class.

Which is as communist as is realistically achievable. Percentage may wary but not by a lot.

RecluseRamble ,

Not exact

The motto of the whole imperial unit system.

RecluseRamble ,

They also provide it by OnionShare but nobody found the link.

RecluseRamble ,

There's 8 billion people. I'm pretty sure gay nazis exist.

RecluseRamble ,

Oh, it can get worse. If Windows market share should really plummet, it won't be replaced by a heterogenous distro utopia but some company like Canonical or Red Hat or a new one will get their distribution to fill the gap. And call me a cynic but I doubt this will be immune to enshittification.

But even that scenario is better than what we have with Microsoft and Apple. The FOSS world would still benefit like it does from the Steam Deck developments.

RecluseRamble ,

On released they didn't know yet how far they can push that telemetry shit down their users' throats. I bet, 11 is better optimized for that. And eventually, it'll be Win365 OSaaS anyway...

RecluseRamble ,

Well, your question answered itself from the manufacturer's perspective. Fuck the consumer.

RecluseRamble ,

Good for you but who pays that much for that old hardware? While many computers run well beyond 10 years, it's hardly surprising if components break down after that time.

RecluseRamble ,

It won't on... wait for it... Linux!

RecluseRamble ,

Behind a value stock is a profitable company. Behind crypto-tokens is a hilariously inefficient database with no application in real life.

Gamble away your money, I'll take the stock - or "have fun staying poor" like crypto-token morons like to say.

RecluseRamble ,

Absolutely. That's why I always write "crypto-tokens" instead. It's a bit longer and more annoying to write but I feel we owe it to the respectable field of cryptography.

RecluseRamble ,

I disagree. Git is great but we'd have done fine with Subversion or whatever. Could you imagine the whole internet running on Windows Server though? The thought alone makes my skin crawl.

RecluseRamble ,

Even online crime often settles with gift cards though because it's too much of a hassle to explain to the Average Joe how to setup an account and buy and transfer crypto-tokens.

RecluseRamble ,

Well, I don't know what you mean, so possibly? I just briefly used SVN in a small team for about half a year and would never claim to be an expert. It's alive and kicking though, so regardless what you say I don't believe it's a complete clusterfuck and a world without git would be doomed.

RecluseRamble ,

A value stock means it's undervalued compared to its fundamentals or "cheap". It has nothing to do whether or not the company pays dividends.

The difference to garbage like crypto-tokens is that there actually are fundamentals - a profitable company you're buying a share of and for a cheap price. Of course there's risk involved but you are likely to profit from this.

Much more likely anyway than any crypto-token gamble because there's no value underneath, only wasted energy; and yes, also with PoS or whatever - it's all inefficient compared to a conventional database behind the firewall of a trustworthy organization. Your trustlessness rethoric is the actual lie behind this huge scam.

RecluseRamble ,

Geese, then take whatever else if working in a remote location without upstream access is important to you (note that I originally wrote "Subversion or whatever"). It's just version control, not rocket science.

I'm a git devotee myself, love it despite its growing redundancies. But I am able to imagine a world without it and don't tremble in fear. That's all I said here.

RecluseRamble ,

This is pointless. You don't even seem to know what profit and value are exactly, much less how the letter is increased.

But ok, gamble away your money for worthless crap if you believe it's the same as owning non-distributing value stock (lol). I'm not an altruistic economics teacher trying to stop you hurting yourself.

RecluseRamble ,

My first thought as well. But that's a deeply sensitive topic in American election campaigns, so it's safest for us outsiders to not express an opinion about it whatsoever.

RecluseRamble ,

The one time I managed to get a license plate, the police claimed that without witnesses, they couldn't do anything. ACAB.

It sucks but unless he hurt you, hit your bike, or you have any sort of footage what is the police suppose to do? Show up, he denies everything and that's it.

If they could charge him on your claims alone, think about the scary consequences of such a "legal" system.

RecluseRamble ,

Yes, you do need some kind of evidence if you don't have a witness. And I mentioned other kinds of evidence than video footage.

RecluseRamble ,

I never questioned that. I even went with OP's story, chose to believe they told the complete truth. But they complained about police not doing anything and the shitty reality of it is that without any kind of evidence the police cannot do anything.

RecluseRamble ,

OK, you're right. Ideally, the police should just follow up and not predict the result since that's the judge's job, not theirs.

I don't think there are many countries with such a low crime rate where police can really work that close to the book though. And I think there are "better" examples for "ACAB" in the US.

RecluseRamble ,

In my case, yes, there was paint damage from my bike, which would be evidence.

For sure, that should've been more than enough for them to act at least. I'm sorry this happened to you.

RecluseRamble ,

That's Various-Organisms-Man for ya. Not particularly strong but he has a good heart.

RecluseRamble , (edited )

The problem is people thinking the tool is a "calculator" (or fact-checker or search engine) while it's just a text generator. It's great for generating text.

But even then it can't keep a paragraph stable during the conversation. For me personally, the best antidote against the hype was to use the tool.

I don't judge people believing it's more than it is though. The industry is intentionally deceiving everyone about this and we also intuitively see intelligence when someone can eloquently express themselves. Seeing that in software seems magical.

We now have a great Star Trek like human machine interface. We only need real intelligence in the backend.

RecluseRamble ,

I guess that's far more unbreakable than what we have. But anyway, several three letter agencies will fight this (again) tooth and nails.

RecluseRamble ,

That was really my thought - future iterations of Chat GPT won't like spez very much.

RecluseRamble ,

Well, iOS could just do it like every other OS that don't restore deleted data by installing an update.

RecluseRamble ,

It's exclusively a local tool, isn't it? You can index a network share but the index still is local and has to be done for each user, right?

Looking for a simple (preferably FOSS) tool to index file shares for a handful of users at their own PCs.

RecluseRamble ,

Anti-fascists get tougher with every year Hitler is dead. You can't imagine what life under terror is like. Luckily, me neither, but I'm not under the illusion I'd be some kind of hero when I and by extension my whole family were threatened by torture and death.

RecluseRamble ,

Yeah, well, I don't live in the US. But you're proving my point exactly.

RecluseRamble ,

What can't you write without preprocessor magic?

RecluseRamble ,

It's annoying then though since you to take care not to pour over it or get it in your mouth. And lost caps weren't even a problem before.

RecluseRamble ,

Duh? It's still stupid that a gremium of politicians waste resources to regulate non-issues. I certainly don't want to live in the US but the EU is over-regulated.

RecluseRamble ,

You don't need to go crypto to get there though

You never do. Its only use case is a payment system for online crime. And even for that many criminals prefer gift cards because it's such a hassle to explain crypto-tokens to your victims.

RecluseRamble ,

No, it's not useful as a cash substitute because of its hilarious inefficiency.

RecluseRamble ,

Also Ethereum is extremely inefficient compared to conventional tech (like just a database). All you need is to realize that complete trustlessness is impossible to understand that a distributed ledger has no problem to solve. And that's why there is no practical application after all these years.

EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again (www.techspot.com)

EA has tried this before, with predictable results. In 2020, EA Sports UFC 4 included full-screen ads for the Amazon Prime series The Boys that would appear during 'Replay' moments. These were absent from the game when it launched, with EA introducing the ads about a month later, thereby preventing them from being highlighted in...

RecluseRamble ,

Oh, it won't be exclusive EA-exclusive enshittification, I'm sure.

RecluseRamble ,

Even excluding X.org: KDE worse than GNOME... pff, speak for yourself.

RecluseRamble ,

All the consoles that came out through the 90s and early 2000s felt like distinct eras to me.

Because they were. Back then games changed drastically with more powerful systems. Today, you sometimes have the same game available for multiple console generations.

RecluseRamble ,

Websites offer that but you can usually find those in your favorite package manager Downloading software from shady websites is the Windows way of doing things.

Now, to be clear: this discussion is about having to use the terminal and that's what people answered. You still find so many resources referring to the terminal because it's often just the most convenient and effective way to do something.

I certainly prefer it over clicking through settings or running dedicated tools to do something that could be solved by a single line. And I was an exclusive Windows user like 5 years ago.

RecluseRamble ,

Thom. He's into dudes.

RecluseRamble ,

But do you have a fitting charger?

RecluseRamble ,

I was really nice to just charge like once a week though...
